When capturing your project for your portfolio, it’s essential to plan meticulously to produce a series of images that effectively convey your intended message and accurately represent both your project and brand in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

We will engage in a comprehensive discussion about the project's purpose and how individuals interact with the space.

After thoroughly exploring and understanding the project, we will develop our shot list together. This is a collaborative effort where we exchange ideas, and I share my perspective on your project as I perceive it through the camera. We'll also take into account the time of day and how lighting will vary for each shot. Once we finalize our planning, we will have a detailed shot list that includes the ideal times for each photo we intend to capture, and I’ll get started on the shooting. It’s going to be an exciting experience!

CREATIVE FEE

The Creative Fee encompasses the time and expertise necessary to complete the project, which includes pre-production activities such as meetings with the Client, preliminary site visits, specific site preparations, and the provision of all essential photographic equipment. This fee is quoted on a daily basis and typically results in 15-20 images that capture various lighting conditions throughout the day.

POST-PROCESSING

Following the photo-shoot, I undertake a thorough editing process to elevate the images to portfolio-quality standards. This process includes:

Manual blending and lighting adjustments, color correction, perspective enhancements, and selective contrast modifications. It's not unusual for the post-processing to take as much time as the actual shoot.

Additionally, post-processing involves the storage, backup, culling, digital delivery, and archiving of the final images from your session

STANDARD USE LICENSE

All final images will be accompanied by a standard boilerplate license for photo usage. This standard license typically meets the usage requirements of most clients, and additional usage licenses can be made available upon request.

EVERY PROJECT IS UNIQUE: Various factors can influence the price of your photoshoot. Therefore, each project is quoted individually based on its specific circumstances.

COST SHARING = RATE DISCOUNTS

Cost sharing is a common approach in architectural photography. By adding just one more party to the shoot, you can save more than 30% on the overall cost of capturing your project. The savings increase with each additional participant involved in the photoshoot.

For example, if the estimated cost of a photoshoot is $5,000 and one additional party is included, the total cost would rise to $6,500 ($5,000 + 30%). This brings the cost per party down to $3,250, resulting in a savings of $1,750.

Typical parties that may seek access to the photos include: architects, interior designers, landscape architects, construction firms, subcontractors, materials vendors, furniture vendors, flooring and window suppliers, as well as owners and tenants.

No. Third-party usage is not permitted unless properly licensed.

Although not every photo-shoot requires an assistant, there are many instances where one is essential. Having an assistant on-set is an invaluable asset, benefiting not just me, but you as well! Having experienced help on the day ensures a smoother workflow, enabling us to accomplish more in less time, ultimately resulting in better photographs. It’s a win-win for everyone.
